Our Banking and Capital Markets team acts for financiers, traditional and non-bank lenders and borrowers on a wide variety of acquisition and leveraged finance deals
We offer an integrated service alongside experts in our Tax, Corporate and M&A, Insolvency and Restructuring and Real Estate teams.
Much of our work involves advising on highly complex cross-border deals requiring extensive interaction with professionals in many different disciplines and in multiple jurisdictions. These transactions often have several layers of financing, including debt securities (often listed), senior secured credit facilities, mezzanine and junior debt. In many cases the financing goes beyond funding for the acquisition into finance for expansion or investment, working capital and trade finance, such as guarantee or letter of credit facilities.
We have particular expertise in advising on the financing the acquisition of non-performing loan portfolios and other distressed assets, acting for both financiers and borrowers. This work is frequently cross-border and multi-disciplinary in nature, using highly complex structures with large numbers of underlying assets.
